 In the above photo the shape of the spoon shaft is triangular just above the juncture of the shaft to bowl. My question is this, is the triangular shape a regional feature or is it found on spoons/forks etc. throughout the country? Many thanks for any comments. I will have photos of entire spoon and mark shortly. The silversmith is supposedly FRANCKES however I cannot swear to that as the first letter/letters are mostly well worn. IP: Logged |

This is not a regional feature, but a mark of an earlier spoon, common on early downturned handled spoons. Later ones usually have a flatter shaft. IP: Logged |

As an addition to John C Jenckes' other career information,here's something else from the 1858 Transactions / Rhode Island Society for the Encouragement of Domestic Industry: Adnah Sackett " put himself an apprentice to the jewelry business, with Messrs. Jenckes (John C.) & Jastram (Mawney,) then extensive manufacturers of jewelry in Providence." Great spoon too. [This message has been edited by bascall (edited 04-01-2009).] IP: Logged |
